Tyre help 195 - 205

[Telboi_Clio_182]

Hi guys,

looking for some tyres for my 16" pro race alloys. Current tyres are 195-45-16 been looking online and seem the new nankang semi slick tyres but only start in sizes 205-45-16.

My question is will these be ok or cause any issues with scrubbing or anything. The car is lowered on eibach sportline springs with cup suspension.

many thanks - Terry

will cause no problems. 205 is the standard size on the 182.

195 often fitted as the tyres are cheaper but really there is a negligible difference.

Best check is to measure but unless you're car is 5mm away from scrubbing then you'll be fine.

Oh so 205 is the standard tyre size. Just worried wouldn't fit the alloy currently

Could be wrong but i think this was what renault done with the tyres.
The 195's are more of a stretch

205/45/16 = 182's

195/45/16 = 172's

I have 205's on my 172 and they are fine
